Western authorities have been harvesting data for a few decades from social media so any complaint that singles out Chinese apps doing the same is obviously rooted in sinophobia.

The fact you think my joking about racists doing that is pathetic shows which side of that assertion you fall.

That sinophobia isn’t going to stoke itself!

Pixelfed has been live for a while and Loops is in beta.

For my invite the other and whole not as fully featured as some corp owned short form video apps, it looks good & has multiple things over the others

I’m not in the US so that’s your first fuck up.

Secondly, the misused ‘they’re’ was me not proofreading autocorrect too closely while I was on the train this morning.

You are an insufferable elitist bore.

he was a piece of shit who at the very least abused his role and power over women.

And bombed a pharmaceutical factory in Libya to distract people from the fact he couldnt keep it in his pants

That chocolate ain’t gonna pay for itself!

for what is essentially uncharted territory.

Neoliberalism has been very well explored for the last 45 years and has failed. It is a dead ideeology that needs to be assigned to the dustbin of history as a terribly shit idea.

That’s them being an elitist prick, full of English exceptionalism.

You could look through their previous comments and probably find that they invariably wear the badge of “political moderate” but their world view based around their superiority seeps through eventually.

There appears to be a lack of “centrist”, non-political, or right-wing voices (and I don’t mean extreme MAGA-type views, but rather more moderate conservative positions).

TBF, they don’t exist.

They’re might be some that on appearance hold reasonable views that are considered centrist /moderate conservative but if their privilege is questioned or their fragile egos get scuffed, they always and invariably go full on far right.

Their moderate views are just a veneer that are held to appear as such and never stand up to pressure.

Theres plenty of people who complain about drivers who get ticketed for using a mobile while at lights or stopped in traffic (think of the comments on a particular uk cycle cammer who films drivers using their mobiles then reports them) but it plays heavily with situational awareness & drivers ability to “check back in” to the activity of driving.

I’ve asked those people “why do you lock the toilet door?”

Its not even defeatism, its willingly sacrificing themselves to the machine in hopes it will be merciful!

If it wasnt beaten by this, it comes a very close 2nd: “Firefox is trash at loading HTML websites”.

You can tell that fucker spends their time gibbering techno waffle bollcoks to old people!

Reddit admins have already put things in place to counter editing or deleting comments.

I deleted an account from 2011 yet when I searched on Google for “site:reddit.com account name”, it listed loads of posts with their previous content (I used the script that changed all the contents before deleting).

All SM sites have been doing this for a while: they’ll shadow delete your account but will retain all the data.

One problem no one has mentioned, is that it also makes life a lot harder for homeless people.

But to those who organise those systems, they’re not consumers with disposable income or a credit line to spend. They are happy for them to fall through the cracks and people not using cash penalises them further by eradicating charity and widening divisions.

It is functioning as designed.

Exactly. If critical mass is achieved inorganically, it would result with a reverse in uptake & possibly even a revolt against it.

You can lead a horse to water… (but a pencil must be lead)

The previous commentor sounds exactly like all those people who have harassed Zoraya with their bullshit “miracle cures”.

It had always astounded me that we offer painless, merciful euthanasia to our pets and animals, both wild and domesticated, yet not to our fellow humans, who must suffer until the bitter end.

The attacks are happening from the Moroccan side of the straits of Gibraltar all the way up to the north of Portugal and the bay of Biscay.

All of the yachts attacked are under 20 metres, not owned by billionaires and a lot of them are liveaboards who have sold everything up to go travelling.

The attacks are thought to be from the result of over fishing along the Portuguese coast as well as incidents between those fishing boats and Orca pods yet it’s smaller boats that are being attacked.

So it’s not the 1% getting fucked but others as a result of their actions, yet again. (The reason suspected that this pod is attacking boats is because of sports fishermen attacking younger Orcas)

The types of yachts that are being sunk are not owned by billionaires, or even millionaires.

These are small boats under 20 meters, most of those attacked are liveaboards and it’s a result of over-fishing along the Portuguese coast all the way up to the bay of Biscay.

Ask yourself, why is it that after centuries of sailing in this region, is it only in the last few years these attacks have started to happen? (This is the common suspected reason)
